Hardman & Co Research: Burford Capital (BUR): Positive progress on Petersen

*Hardman & Co Research: Positive progress on Petersen*
The Petersen case relates to ownership of a 25% stake in YPF, which was
expropriated by the Argentinian government. Petersen subsequently went into
administration, and a claim was initiated for compensation for the loss
incurred by the expropriation. Having started in 2015, this is a lengthy
process. A trial court decision that the claims could be heard in the United
States federal courts was appealed by Argentina last year. On 10 July, over
one year after the appeal was argued, the US Second Circuit Court of Appeals
affirmed that decision. The next step is for the substantive proceedings to
recommence in the trial court. This decision came too late for the interim
results as of 30 June, and Burford will consider the impact, if any, in the
year-end valuation process.
